Network Media Player
Morning All,
I was hoping for some advice on Network Media Players. I'm looking for a HD with HDMI output (pref upscaling as well) which will act as a central hub for my PC and Laptop (connect via network rather than USB). I have a DNLA compliant TV (and a PS3) so the option to stream stuff via TVersity or Twonky (for movies with unsupported codecs) would be useful. I looked at the LaCinema Classic from Lacie although I've been put off by some terrible reviews. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! TIA |

Your PS3 is a network media streamer.

I think OP is looking for some device with storage device with the ability to also stream to a PS3 and DNLA TV.
OP - how about a htpc, should be able to pick up a SFF PC, HD video card and a 2TB drive for under 200 quid. |

The OP already has a PC.
Sorry but when I first read the post it said HD and HDMI I wrongly assumed Hi Def, not Hard Disk Drive (HDD) If its storage he is after then a simple networked harddrive like a Buffalo Link Station would suffice. Linkage http://www.dabs.com/products/buffalo...-nas-5CQ6.html |

It your storage support SMB you can easily stream using things like the AC Ryan Playon mini. It manages to stream HD video over a 200MB Homeplug across the house too, from where all my storage devices are to our bedroom.

what you need is a ETHERNET hard drive. This connects to your router and is therefore wireless ( if router wireless )
your telly will pick up the hard drive and connect to it without streaming from laptop/computer my telly plays Divx files on hard drive as well as MP3s/ AAC as well to keep it wife proof , my xbox does all this as well , but also plays Dvi films and MP4 ones so get something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digi...=cm_cr_pr_pb_t you can either have it as a Raid drive at 1 tb or 2tb if not a mirror hard drive it streams to my 2nd xbox no probs |
